“The overall theme of the sym
posium is the apparent decline of
Czech ethnic quality in Texas and
the possible responses to the prob
lem,” explained Dr. Clinton
Machann, symposium director and
Texas A&M University assistant pro- ,
fessor of English.
“Although Czechs are one of the
largest ethnic groups in Texas and
the language is the third most spo
ken in the state, the history, sociol
ogy and language of these people
have not been sufficiently studied.
“The general public and members
of the academic community, espe
cially those of Czech extraction, have
expressed a great deal of interest in
the issue,” he said. “This symposium
is an attempt to gather these people
together for a public discussion and
learning experience.”
Symposium activities will begin at
2 p.m. Oct. 27, at the S.P.J.S.T. Su
preme Lodge, 520 N. Main, Tem
ple. Registration will continue at
7:30 a.m. Oct. 28 at the Temple
Junior College Auditorium.
The project is being sponsored by
the Department of English at Texas
A&M. Dr. Henry Pope, director of
continuing education for the College
of Liberal Arts, will be university
coordinator. The program is funded
by the Texas Committee for the
Humanities and the National
Endowment for the Humanities.
The preregistration fee for the
three-day session is $1 for students
and $3 for the public. More informa

posium can be obtained by writing:

Singing Cadets perform
for Student Life weekend
The Singing Cadets will partici
pate in the Student Life weekend
Saturday from 10-10:30 p.m. in the
Memorial Student Center lounge.
Robert Boone, director of
the .singers, said this weekend’s
concert will be very informal. The
group will sing about 13 songs rang
ing from pop music to church
spirituals.
Try-outs for the Cadets are held
each semester. It is not required that
the men be in the Corps. Boone
gives each candidate a vocal audi
tion, then a non-formal interview is
held “to see if they will blend in with
the group,” said Larry Reibenstein,
president of the Singing Cadets.
Reibenstein said fall is the time for
the Cadets to learn the music be
cause most tours are held in the
spring.
Each year, the group puts on 40 -
50 concerts. “We travel about 400
miles on two Greyhound buses,”
said C. B. Hoshall, publicity man
ager.
